M83 & Villagers among Body & Soul headliners

The line-up for this year’s Body & Soul festival has just been announced, and a cracking one it is too!

Descending on Westmeath’s stunning Ballinlough Castle between June 22 and 24 will be M83, Villagers, St. Vincent, Little Dragon, Shangaan Electro, Gold Panda, John Talabot, The Herbaliser, Emika, Kormac’s Big Band, Gaudi, Tieraniessaur, I Draw Slow, Lowb, and Redinho – and that really is just for starters with loads more acts being announced over the coming months.

There are plenty of fringe attractions too with Soul Kids, a masquerade ball, holistic area, hot tubs, theatrics, sound & light spectaculars, gourmet food and a promised “one hundred quirky nooks & crannies.”

Tickets are on sale now priced €99 (weekend & family weekend), €127 (weekend + bus from Dublin), €55 (Sunday only), €83 (Sunday + bus from Dublin), €25 (Friday add-on) and €30 (Campervan).

There’s no music on the main stages on Friday, but festival-goers will have access to the Woodlands and Walled Gardens “where the magic and mischief begins.”
